Qian Renxue: All That Enthusiasm Fed to the Dogs
"Why isn't it ready yet, you brat..." Qian Renxue waited anxiously and happily, only realizing she had held the book upside down before quickly straightening it.
He gave himself an awkward laugh.
She didn't care what was written in the book; her gaze kept drifting towards the outside of the palace, waiting for that small figure to appear.
Another incense stick's time passed, and Qian Renxue was almost unable to resist checking on the situation.
But thinking about it, it makes sense; a gift for mom should definitely be carefully decorated.
Before long, Lin Luo's small figure finally appeared outside the palace.
He came running in excitedly, Qian Renxue glanced at him but didn't see Lin Luo holding flowers.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Lin Luo had one hand tucked behind his back, with tiny flower petals peeking out from behind him.
Qian Renxue withdrew her gaze, pursed her red lips, and inwardly scolded, "This brat really had a surprise in store for me, and he was hiding it behind my back."
"Mom."
"Why."
Lin Luo called out, Qian Renxue responded, then picked up her teacup, took a sip, and continued reading intently.
What book is so interesting that it doesn't even glance at me... Lin Luo leaned closer, Qian Renxue's long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly. Her gaze then swept over Lin Luo's right hand with lightning speed, pretending not to notice.
"What book is it? Is it good?"
Lin Luo asked.
Qian Renxue nodded without hesitation. "It's quite good. The relationship between the male and female leads is so dramatic and exciting."
Lin Luo glanced at the book title silently.
A Guide to Planting and Cultivating Autumn Chrysanthemums
Isn't this a book about gardening? Where are the male and female protagonists?
Or is the female lead named Qiuyueju?
Lin Luo didn't care. He had just spent so much time looking for colored oil paper to wrap the bouquets. If you put water in the oil paper, it won't wilt even if you leave it until the next day.
To avoid being seen by Qian Renxue, Lin Luo quietly went to the bedroom and quickly stuffed the bouquet into her bag, intending to give it to Xue Fu at the academy the next day.
After finishing these tasks, he went to bed and focused intently on checking the system, without disturbing Qian Renxue's reading.
"Where are the flowers? Why didn't you send them? My butt's gone numb from sitting here..." Qian Renxue thought to herself, her mind filled with resentment.
She put the book down and walked towards the bedroom.
Lin Luo was sitting cross-legged on the bed. Qian Renxue, of course, didn't know he was looking at the system and assumed he was meditating.
Where are the flowers? She looked around and finally glanced at Lin Luo's bag, a bulging bag, perhaps they were hidden inside.
Seriously, you're still hiding a surprise? How long are you going to keep it a secret? I've made the decision, I'll give it to you right now!
Qian Renxue walked towards the bag, and just as she was about to place her hand on it, Lin Luo opened his eyes at some point and immediately called out, "Wait!"
Before Qian Renxue could even react, he immediately got out of bed, clutched his bag, took a few steps back, and looked at her Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue felt both helpless and amused by her son's reaction.
What's inside?
"Have we been discovered?" Lin Luo looked at her suspiciously and denied it immediately. "Nothing, it's just... a child's privacy shouldn't be intruded upon by their mother."
That makes some sense... but how long are you planning to hold off on sending it? Are you just too embarrassed?
Seeing how nervous Lin Luo was, Qian Renxue decided not to make things difficult for him.
When he decides to give it to me, I'll pretend to be pleasantly surprised and respond accordingly!
Even though she hadn't received it yet, Qian Renxue was already overjoyed and incredibly happy.
When she took a shower that evening, she wore loose, cool pajamas, grabbed a towel and draped it over her arms, then came to Lin Luo with a friendly and warm smile on her face.
"Your mother will personally serve Luo'er as she bathes and changes clothes today!"
Lin Luo was startled.
He took a few steps back, his back pressed against the wall in terror.
First, Lin Luo immediately reflected on his own actions.
In the past few days, including today, has he done anything to anger Qian Renxue...? The result of his reflection is no.
But that's impossible, otherwise why would Qian Renxue be so sarcastic and unpredictable?
That's right, Lin Luo saw Qian Renxue's enthusiasm as nothing but sarcasm!
She stopped bathing me a long time ago, always saying that the child was grown up and she needed to avoid suspicion, so it's impossible that she suddenly changed her mind today.
Seeing Lin Luo's reluctant expression, Qian Renxue swayed her body, showing off her beautiful pajamas. "I'm serious, look how beautiful and ceremonial I look today!"
She wore a silk chiffon nightgown with a slit in the hem, revealing glimpses of her two long, slender, snow-white legs, their exquisite curves displayed in the air.
With her blonde hair styled in an updo and her stunningly beautiful face adorned with light makeup, Lin Luo should have simply relaxed and enjoyed the attention she received from Qian Renxue.
But he was very uneasy.
Could it be that she did something wrong, and this is her way of atoning for it?
"You little brat, I'm giving you face and you're still dawdling! Hurry up and come, wash up and go to bed!"
Before Lin Luo could react, Qian Renxue rolled her eyes and impatiently dragged Lin Luo's hand toward the bath.
He lay by the pool like a lump of rotten flesh, his back being vigorously scrubbed and washed by Qian Renxue. After washing his back, Qian Renxue patted him on the back.
"Change the face!"
"So professional..." Lin Luo lay down on his back, his hands protecting Ji, still pondering whether he had done something wrong or Qian Renxue had done something wrong.
Qian Renxue suddenly chuckled, not exposing her son's pretense, and continued wiping other areas before finally saying to him, "Wash that area yourself."
"Yes, Mother."
Lin Luo was trembling with fear.
Qian Renxue gave him a strange look, then casually kicked him with her delicate foot. "Hurry up, I'll tell you a story to lull you to sleep."
"Ah?"
the next day.
Qian Renxue opened her eyes, filled with disbelief. She wondered if all her enthusiasm had been wasted.
Last night, she held the child and told him many stories. When she saw that Lin Luo still hadn't sent flowers, she moved on to the next story.
Finally Lin Luo fell asleep, and she was stunned.
Why aren't you sending these flowers?!
Sending flowers is extremely important to women, especially the flowers Lin Luo sent, which held special significance for Qian Renxue.
But she began to suspect that the flowers weren't meant for her after all.
After getting up, Qian Renxue paid special attention to Lin Luo, who opened his schoolbag to check it. After confirming that everything was alright, he put it on his back and then followed She Long into the carriage. He still didn't mention giving his mother flowers.
Qian Renxue's mentality is a little broken.
She Long and the Pufferfish walked to the entrance of the palace and asked, "Young Master, aren't you seeing the young master off today?"
"Roll."
"Okay."
She Long and the Pufferfish didn't dare ask a single question and immediately slipped away. Women's tempers never come out of nowhere; asking them is like asking a death sentence.
"Isn't Mom going to deliver it today?"
Lin Luo asked from inside the carriage.
She Long nodded. "Young Master must have something to attend to. Let's go."
"OK."
Qian Renxue sat in the chair, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.
If it's not for her, then who is it for?
His maternal grandmother?
